Jan Vertonghen urges Tottenham to hand this star new contract: He rejected first offer

JAN VERTONGHEN has urged Tottenham to hand Hugo Lloris a new contract.

The 29-year-old played a vital part in helping Spurs secure a goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last night by making a series of saves, including a sensational stop on the line from Javier Hernandez’s shot.

Lloris in contracted to Spurs until 2019 and reportedly rejected the north London club’s proposal of an extension in June.

Spurs have already tied down eight players to new contracts in the last month and Vertonghen reckons it is imperative that Lloris is the next player to commit his long-term future to the club.
